Le Shire
has much to offer for the holiday maker. Although in quite a remote location, there is much to see within a short drive. The village of Villemorin is very quiet and local facilities are virtually non-existant. this makes for a very quiet and unspoilt area. There are no bars, shops, rail services or local bus service. A car is essential for this location.

The following photographs were taken September 2009.

This is the pool at Le Shire. It is fully enclosed and is located at the bottom of the garden. The location and enclosure keeps it safe for small children to enjoy the garden. There are sun-loungers available for around the pool area and a number of inflatables for younger members of the family if required. The pool is fully maintained by our 'pool guy' Bernie.
Please be aware there may be sunbathing Gecko lizards joining you during the hottest times of the day.

The nearest town is Aulnay and is the nearest place to shop, dine out and fill up the car with petrol. There is an excellent restaurant 'Le Columbier' and also markets on a Thursday and Sunday. Aulnay is only a small place, but all you need can be found in the central area, the newsagents also sell English newspapers, should you wish to know the rainfall levels back home.
